On the left bank of Georgia’s capital city Tbilisi lies the former textile factory Nino. Today, it is known as Fabrika. A space that has been repurposed into a social hub where people come together to eat, drink, and meet others. A space for the creation and distribution of art in various forms. This short film explores the connection of Fabrika’s community to each other and to the history of the place against the backdrop of the political protests that have dominated the daily lives of Georgian citizens since October 2024.
